Basel | 08/06/2009 - 15/08/2009 Little Theatre of Gestures

Exhibition about changes that we do to ourselves or to our surroundings. The show wants to examine and look at how we display these changes, the theatricality of objects and bodies, staged and in daily life. Most people perform daily either through their persona, the things they do or wear, in their work or leisure time. We transform ourselves through small gestures and by changing small details around ourselves. The exhibition does not want to give an overview on the formal and informal codes that constitute our communication in daily life, but instead to gather artistic positions for a mutual play on smaller or larger deeds. The focus is concentrated on a few artists who deal with gestures on a rather conceptual level, and who present and mirror each other’s interests and approaches: from documentary-like staging to self-staged personas, from staged objects to daily abstractions. Among the artists represented are Kutluğ Ataman (b. 1961), Isaac Mendes B!
elisario (1795– d. 1849), Gerard Byrne (b. 1969), Rodney Graham (b. 1949), Hilary Lloyd (b. 1964), Kirsten Pieroth (b. 1970) and Susanne M. Winterling (b. 1970).
